@taniwharugby aroma's massive in cooking. You must have done the apple / potato test at school as a kid?
@Hooroo I've been eating spring rolls and beef pho all weekend. Yours look good, although I prefer lattice paper. It took me years to learn how to make them properly (and how easy they are once you nail it). Love Vietnamese. My fave cuisine by miles.
I will always remember a meal in London somewhere and we stumbled upon a simple Vietnamese restaurant and we were given a large sour pancake that had dollops of different types of goodness on it. No chopsticks/KFS just your hands to tear the pancake with whatever was on it. It was one of the nicest things I have ever eaten and have never seen something similar since.
I don't know what Lattice paper is??

@Hooroo it wasn't banh xeo? Lattice rice paper is just a rice paper that is not solid but has crisscross patterning like a net. It's just a personal preference. I like the texture more still crunchy and crisp but a bit more yielding
Is that then rolled and deep fried? Looks great!

Cooking a beef rib roast.
First thing make a marinade where you fry off onion and fresh chilli, add garlic and balsamic, and reduce. Stir in beef stock, parsley, paprika and strangely vanilla essence. Reduce again. Cool, then cover the meat.
Should be good on a drizzly day.
For. The. Win!
Next time add a little wine to the marinade, and some more chilli. But it was an absolute ripper.

i didn't take any! i was hungry, so i just ate it.
Just picture a bit of beef with a couple of rib bones sticking out of it. Dark bark on the outside, inside pink (cooked it to 60 degrees exactly)

@dogmeat 7 hours to make, 10 minutes to eat but still worth it!

@Catogrande Spot on. Although once the stock was simmering I did sneak off to the pub for inspiration

@dogmeat That looks awesome.
Pho was one of those things that I gave up trying to make after the first time.. So much time to make and didn't taste anywhere near as good as a restaurant one. And they are quite cheap to buy too.
This is my philosophy on pretty much any type of food. I don't like cooking, get no enjoyment out of it so better for me just buy my food.

That's a weird jump to make ... I don't eat McDonalds. I'm covering the "food stuff" part of the thread title.

@Nepia I understand where you are coming from but for me cooking is a release and a relaxation
It can be fucking hard work ( the pho wasn’t I just had to be patient) but I find it incredibly rewarding.
I’m also quite a competitive fucker so while relaxing it still allows for me to ramp up the stress levels - which I quite enjoy.
Yeah I could get a really good pho from the Vietnamese restaurant ten minutes walk away. Or I could make a pretty fair one using a bought stock.
But I went to several different shops to get just the right bones and then I did it myself and it was better than the local restaurant and as good as anything in District 1.
Seriously if I could have my life again I would definitely have chosen food or wine as a career. I’m the NZ I grew up in they weren’t really options.
